Thesis

Disassembling Capital: the submitted version of my doctoral thesis.

A number of people have previously read the penultimate version of the thesis, whose chapters have been linked on this page for some time. Those links are below in case anyone has linked to this page, rather than to the individual chapters, and needs to find what they’ve read. If you’ve not read either draft, I recommend starting with the submitted version of the thesis that has been linked above, since it is generally clearer and better targeted.
